Unable to mount USB device on to RHEL6.1 virtual machine
I am a linux newbie. I wanna connect USB to my RHEL6.1 virtual machine installed on vmware9, Windows 7 as host OS.
It is showing error that unable to mount USB, Unknown file system type. My pendrive is under NTFS format. How can i mount my USB? Pls help. Thanks in advance. |
the older RHEL 6.1 ( the current is RHEL 6.4 ) normally has NTFS support turned off or not installed
first check if the driver is installed Code:
su - if not install it from the EPEL repo , but FIRST you must install the repo! see the fedora epel wiki page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL Warning: READ the RHEL warning on turning on 'optional' repo with the default and required RHN repo also install and CONFIGURE "yum-priorities" BEFORE you install ANY software see the red hat knowledge base the FULL instructions are in there ( you get access to this with the required support contract that you bought ) -- just log in to the red hat site and search for the plug in https://access.redhat.com/search/quick Code:
yum install yum-priorities install ntfs-3g Code:
su - if you did not buy the required support contract you do not install anything |
